Trailer. (http://au.wii.ign.com/dor/objects/56365/nba-jam/videos/nbajam_trl_spiketvtrailer_31910.html)

Those heads are very South Park.

Awesome. When's it due?

Both NBA Hangtime and Showtime copped a pounding in my house circa a decade ago. Look forward to repeating the dosage on this one. No motion controls though pls.

That is easily the first time seeing news of any sports game has given me goosebumps. Then the trailer kept going and I can't help but feel like they'll just end up making a game that rests completely on the catchphrases and photo-cutout style without any real substance.

I hope I'm wrong, but that trailer really did kinda suck. All I really got was WE HAVE CATCHPHRASES, PEOPLE! ALSO THE CHARACTERS LOOK WEIRD! WILL YOU BUY PLZ OH YEAH WE HAVE CATCHPHRASES!

It might make my brother unpack that free Wii he got with his new flat-screen.

Just looked like tarted-up old-school NBA Jam/Hangtime/Showtime to me. Which means they'll get my coin. Hopefully EA keeps Midway's humour and awesome character customisation (from Hangtime /Showtime) options.

Also, I hope it resembles NBA Jam (2004) on PS2 in no way. That smoked pole.

NBA on NBC Showtime (DC) still gets monthly play time from me and my mates so I'm hanging for the inevitable PS3/360 port :)

Well considering I'm already tired of the announcer, I'm not sure I like it. The game's presentation to be very mismatched - the graphics were boring, there was no real excitement in the audio and the announcer sounded like he was trying to fake an orgasm every time he spoke.

Hopefully this is just because it's a work in progress though.

Oh man, this looks sweet, but is it really a Wii exclusive? That can't be right, surely...

Honestly, I'd be happy with a NBA Hangtime release on XBLA, with online play thrown in for good measure.

Evidentally you never played the originals!

Joystiq just posted their most recent hands-on (http://www.joystiq.com/2010/03/31/nba-jam-wii-preview/).

I couldn't find classic controller support in that article. :(

Lack of classic or GameCube controller support would almost sound the death knell for this title for me. That is of course, unless the motion controls are hella tight.

[Rambo]

That's not going to happen Knuckle :P

For their time they were as flashy as they could be, really.
